You only need to control about 10% to 15% of the stock to force through the kinds of layoffs and money saving activity that is happening. You don't even have to own that much, just band together with similar minded shareholders to form

Looks like it’s my turn to wear the tinfoil hat… There’s a concerted PR campaign to push the “tech workers do nothing” meme for two reasons: - justify layoffs that are pushed by activist investors - union busting (as in “why would these la

I would say HyperCard fits here. The GUI is determined by the interpreter/vm. A spreadsheet doesn't really define it's GUI - the "host" defines it. A ruby script building a GUI (e.g. shoes) can look like anything.

I put spreadsheets in a special category of "document-as-program". As in: - an excel spreadsheet is a program that is run by Excel - a word document (with or without macros) is run by Word - a web page is a program that is execute

Is there a version of Godwins Law for invoking "wokeness"? A long time ago I read a book (can't remember the name) by a producer that outlined all the things that work in a book that just don't work in a film/tv sho

I think this is a joke comment, but I've seen variations of this made in earnest over the past few months. It's clear by now that these layoffs aren't targeting low performers. They're not targeting any individual. They

But this sounds incredibly like “buy the dip!” The situation with twitter is dire. Nothing indicates that any of the things listed are remotely achievable.

From the outside looking in, was the opposition worse? On the one hand, labour seem really similar to the Tories - disunited, dogma over common sense and oddly out of touch. Their policies _were_ opposite to Tory policies but they are tryin

I've had similar experience. I found that I went through a kind of mourning for my old life for a while. It's a huge adjustment. It also eats up a huge amount of time - reading labels for hidden ingredients, trying to come up with

Fitbit does have it's own SDK, that you can use to write both apps and watch faces. In theory you could create a watch face that met your needs. The SDK is pure JavaScript and seems friendly enough (I only got a few examples working an

Would you consider using d3.js? I’ve been able to get great performance for large deeply nested trees using d3. It depends on your use case of course.

I think, generally, the concern is that if the Qatari rulers are rolling back on this commitment (which is relatively minor) they will roll back on other much more serious promises that they made about personal security of visiting fans. In

It really is god-awful. RCS is a technology that benefits mobile operators, not users. Also, Google really aren't in a position to lecture anyone on this topic, given their N+1 approach to messaging services.
